He is revered as a high type of citizen, and bis public utterances gain sow a respectful, if not always applauding, audienceV His address last week when he received the first Iowa award for distinguished citizenship earned the essence of his philosophy as applied to the present scene. NoC just because of bis age but because of his conviction he is critical of the overwrought word "new and its applica tion with ready acceptance to a multitude of changes. To him the word "old" is rich in mean- i-g: i ' - ' ' - There are some, old things that made this ' country. : - - - - There is the old virtue of religious faith. There are the old virtues of integrity and the whole truth. ) ) I'.H There is -tie old virtue of Incorruptible serv ice end honor In public office. I M There are the old virtues of economy In gov ernment, f self -reliance,, thrift and individual liberty; .;, j ' 'H-i There are the old virtues of patriotism, real love of country and willingness to sacrifice for it ' - Most of the press summaries' of his address caught up his reference- to exposures of dis honesty and perversion of political influence. That is not new, as Mr. Hoover," having Sat in the cabinet of President . Harding along with .Albert B. Fall and Harry Daugherty, well .knows. The ex-president really aimed his shaft at the worse poison ef "intellectual, dishonesty 1 . It!. 1 !M TT- J I 1 . ' in puouc uie. xie conaemnea propaganda de signed to deceive, propaganda to "keep up our pep",, propaganda through j persuasive i half truths, the propaganda . of catchwords and slogans. .:,.- , : . ; j Mr. Hoover "has something there." There is afoot plenty of intellectual fraud and dishonesty in public life, in the writings of editors and pub licists, in the output of partisan' mimeographs. he hazards Of public-life are great, the.; Stakes are high; and expediency is most inviting to the ambitious. So the public gets fed a lot of phony stuff which if it does not deceive at least con fuses the people. j ,. j Mr. .Hoover has driven: home a truth which should be heeded: the need for honesty in public utterance on the part of responsible leaders. ings bonds has as one of its main objectives "soaking up7 the excess purchasing power by encouraging purchase of these bonds. Those in charge do sot criticize those who have cashed their, bonds for sound reasons, such as meeting emergency! expenses; purchase of a home or such. .But jithey do like to encourage regular purchases as part of a thrift program for each individual land each home. Savings bonds are still buy for they store up buying power, against a day of greater need. Buy, Savings Bonds September sees the start of a fresh campaign for the sake of government savings bonds, the familiar E bond which was popular in wartime. It is timely because in the past year redemptions of these bonds have exceeded purchases. Since . the . outbreak , of the Korean - war , purchases amounted to f $3,530,000,000 and bonds Cashed totaled $4,563,000,000. Of course, the govern ment is not dependent on this source of money; Let's IM Realistic i Of all this stupid conjecturing , we tonrw about, this guessing-contest on atomic bomb casualties is the worst. A dozen so-called experts could figure a dozen different ways. They could also suggest a dozen different ways to reduce; the loss -arid undoubtedly wiEt But if this repeated ! conjecturing is trying to lead up to? a multimillion-dollar expenditure for mass': under ground shelters, the conjecturers better forget, it. America is not going underground like a mole for the Russians or anyone else." 4 j ShallowJ scattered ' bomb shelters served ft ; fine purpose In World War II when bombs, even ithe. larger J ones, were more or less of the pin point variety and when bombing was done by ; huge fleets of planes travelling low, enough and slow enough to permit tracing their course and : allowing time for precautions in the target areas, j ! Those days are gone, at least so far. as inter continental bombing Is concerned. Single, per haps unescorted planes, flying in the strato sphere at such speeds that even radar warnings won't suffice to permit dispersal on the ground, J would be the probable source of atomic : de struction. I ! . .1 ; It is possible some lives would be saved by huge, deep: underground shelters. But running in and out of shelters whenever an unidentified plane is reported flying somewhere in. the north west, lor instance, isn't our idea of fighting a, war. A dispersal of industry and population on ' a permanent basis is one thing, and perhaps a good idea. But caverns for the populace is an ' other. . - j . y I We much' prefer, to believe our money land efforts would be better spent by (1) putting them into a defense so strong that an enemy won't attack, and (2) being fully prepared to lash out with an overwhelming, devastating and war-ending assault of our. own any time anyone Iforces us into it, if ever. . ! ' I In the meantime, some civil defense above' ground is vital and emphasis rightfully is placed on it. Underground tactics should be left to the military org to individual resourcefulness, v m A few days ago the papers reprinted the in structions on etiquette given to the Japanese j delegates to j the SF peace conference.

Defense Mobilizer Wilson reported to a house committee that some busi nessmen expect to have govern ment contracts handed to them on a platter. That just isn't be ing done at present. I Oregon has set up a special committee to help Oregon manu facturing concerns in their solid tation for government orders. When this Small Business Ad ministration gets set S up (it is waiting for an appropriation now) the Oregon committee will have an agency to work with and through. Presently the office of the department of commerce is doing all it can to assist business men in this area who desire to participate in government con tracts. .; ? - ; As construction subsides and materials become more scarce for civilian work shops, for lack of orders will have to Jay off help. .While war work Is not to be rated a political pork it is good business to distribute the awards where that can.be done without loss to the government But the rule still holds that the early and resourceful bird is the one that catches the worms.
